A tour bus driver died after suffering a medical problem and crashing into a light pole near the Rose Parade viewing area.

Passengers reported that the driver – a 66-year-old man – had a “medical incident” at about 9:30 a.m. today before he clipped the pole on Orange Grove Boulevard and backed into some bushes, said Pasadena police spokeswoman Janet Pope Givens. —From MSNBC, “Bus Driver Crashes Near Rose Parade Area,” 1/06/10
